All items are hand sewn using waxed linen thread, dyed, then treated with neatsfoot oil & bee’s wax. The leather used is of veg. tanned cow hide 2-3 or 4-5 oz. weight.

Deer Camp 2020
I was really looking forward to deer camp! 2020 has been a crazy year and being able to camp and hunt is what a person needed. Unfortunately the weather didn't cooperate. The night before the season opener the rain started along with some wind, no problem, until the lighting started. I didn't think being camped under three rather large oak trees was the safest place to be. I got up and moved to a safer place. In the morning I helped with the tracking of a buck taken by another member that was hunting. After that the heavy rain and high winds move in and I spent the rest of the day trying to stay dry and to keep my tent on the ground. Eventually Mother Nature won and I decided to pull up what was left of the stakes in the ground and go home and return another day.

Father & Son Belt Bags
A finished order for a father and son. A belt bag and belt for the son and a bag for dad. The bags are made from the same pattern, To make them a little different I lined the inside of the flap with a blue pattern and the other is grey.
I also dyed one a little lighter in color then the other.
